Fans
of the television series Star Trek will equate such biological tinkering
described in the previous entry with The Borg (“Cyborg”):
the greatest villains ever introduced to television audiences. The
biological and technological terrors
made their debut on May 8, 1989, in the “Q, Who?” episode
of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

“This
is the Borg Collective,” they said menacingly. “Prepare
to be assimilated. We will add your biological and technological distinctive
to our own. You will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.”

Viewers
sat on edge as the cybernetically enhanced and immensely powerful
humanoids overcame the USS Enterprise and her crew. Implanted with
biometric devices connected to a sophisticated communications network
known as “The Borg Collective,” the superior beings moved
without conscience to assimilate the Star Trek crew and implant them
with biometric devices designed to facilitate the needs of the Collective.

When
the crew of the Enterprise finally escaped during the two-part cliffhanger,
Trekkies around the world exhaled a Borg-like collective sigh of relief.

“I
AM LOCUTUS OF BORG!”

At
one point during The Next Generation series, Captain Jean-Luc Picard
was captured again and assimilated by the Borg. He became known as
Locutus of Borg and promised to “raise the quality of life for
all species.” This would be accomplished
by forced integration into the Collective.

Lately,
real-time technology companies have illustrated how life in the not-too-distant
future may imitate the filmmaker’s art. Applied Digital Solutions
(ADS) and other tech firms have international agreements to distribute
Borg-like technology in the form of miniature digital transceivers
designed for human implantation. Research teams funded by the National
Institutes of Health, NASA, and a barrage of privately funded laboratories
are also developing smart tattoos, ingestible implants, and external
neural readers that will make it possible for people to communicate
through computers using their bodies as authenticators combined with
the power of thought. Tests have recently illustrated this as a viable
concept and, in August of 2013, University of Washington researchers
even performed the first noninvasive human-to-human brain interface,
in which one researcher was able to control the hand of another test
subject by sending a brain signal via the Internet to the second researcher.
This emergent technology could ultimately facilitate a wide array
of complicated tasks assigned by the New Collective.

If
this all sounds a bit Orwellian—it is. It is also reality, and
many Christians believe such technology points to an Antichrist system
that will ultimately assimilate ethnic groups, ideologies, religions,
and economics from around the world into a New World Order “Collective.”
But control of the NOW’s “assimilated” will be derived
at the expense of individual human liberties. Everyone, “both
small and great, rich and poor, free and bond [will be forced to]
receive a mark [charagma; from Greek charax meaning to “stake
down into” or “stick into,” such as injecting something
under the skin] in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that
no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of
the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that
hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number
of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six”
(Revelation 13:16–18).

According
to experts, experiments in behavior modification have also been conducted
using implanted chips and may explain the ruthless methods of assimilation
that will be employed by the Borg-like followers of the Antichrist.
(See Revelation 13:15; 20:4)

Be
Assimilated, or Be Stereotyped and Destroyed!

One
cannot read the books of Revelation and Daniel without observing the
unique combination of political (Antichrist) and religious (False
Prophet) personalities operating within the Antichrist’s “collective.”
How will religious leaders and laypeople be convinced to follow anti-Christian
anti-democracy? Enter a pattern reminiscent of Jewish persecution
in postwar Germany: isolation of and discrimination against conservatives
who fear the loss of individual human liberties. The need to trivialize
those who appreciate individual freedoms is necessary, leading to
mandatory assimilation.

In
Russia, when national tax ID numbers were being introduced, Andrei
Zolotov, Jr. wrote in The Moscow Times: “Some right-wing Christians
fear the growing computerization of the world is opening the way for
the coming of the Antichrist. The government’s new, widely publicized
plan to give every citizen a tax identification number and talk of
introducing social security cards with barcodes—dreaded by those
who see Satan’s number, 666, in the codes—has apparently
given them cause for further alarm.”

The
Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church addressed the government’s
plans, saying, “Many Christians, who consider the name given
to them in baptism holy, consider it unworthy to ask the government
for some new ‘name’ in the form of a number.”

But
Sergei Chapnin, editor of the Russian magazine Sobornost Orthodox
(www.sobor.ru), said the religious community’s response is a
sign that an “occult” mentality is penetrating the Orthodox
Church. “To believe in the magic of numbers is absolutely a
non-Christian attitude toward life,” Chapnin said. “If
some people are afraid of it, it only says that occultism is intruding
into Christian consciousness, and first of all the consciousness of
neophytes who are the majority in today’s Russian Orthodox Church.”

How
convenient.

Locutus
of Borg: “We will raise the quality of life for all species.”

Work
on microchip technology as a method of raising the quality of life
through medical advancements is being conducted at laboratories like
the Fetal Treatment
Center (FTC) at UC San Francisco, where scientists have already successfully
connected (NASA’s) implantable biotelemetry devices to unborn
babies.

Other
specialists, such as Dr. Roy Bakay of Emory University in Atlanta,
Georgia, are installing chip-to-brain implants.

Charles
Ostman, a senior fellow at the Institute for Global Futures, says,
“Neuroprosthetics are…inevitable. Biochip implants may
become part of a rote medical procedure. After that, interface with
outside systems is a logical next step.”

Professor
Kevin Warwick, the first known recipient of a biometric chip implant,
speaks excitedly of microchip implantation. “Right-o, got the
signal, got the implant; all I’ve got to do is run a wire from
the implant to my nervous system. I’m so excited about it, I
want to get on with the next step straight away. Let’s see if
we can control computers directly from our nervous system.”

When
asked about the Borg-like ramifications of such technology, Professor
Warwick responds, “It is possible for machines to become more
intelligent than humans in the reasonably near future. Machines will
then become the dominant life form on Earth.”

Spoken
like a good little Borg wannabe.

The
Role of Transhumanism: Merging Man with the (666) Machine

Science
and technology have formed an unholy alliance during recent decades,
giving birth to an emerging discipline called biotechnology. It is
of paramount importance that every believer knows at least the basics,
so consider this your biotech primer. Yes, the topic is complicated,
so let’s see if we can cut through the Gordian knot of biotechnology.
Just remember, the high degree of complexity provides a gateway that
few wish to open, which provides cover for an insidious agenda. Trust
me; you’ll want to read this.

To
begin, let’s spend a few paragraphs covering the bare bones
of biological and technological histories. The etymology of the term
“science” is often cited as originating with the Latin
noun scientia, which means “knowledge.” You might even
recognize it from the oft-quoted phrase scientia est potentia, translated
as “knowledge is power.” We can find this disturbing little
motto blatantly emblazoned upon the logo for the Information Awareness
Office (IAO). Early Illuminist Sir Francis Bacon is said to have coined
this phrase, but it is more probably the invention of Enlightenment
philosopher and amateur physicist, Thomas Hobbes, who included it
in the context of his book De Homine. It is perhaps not coincidental
that Hobbes also wrote a treatise titled Leviathan, in which he argues
in favor of absolute power of governments to decide the fates of the
governed. Of course, the quest for power did not commence in the 1600s,
for it was knowledge—or perhaps better said, secret knowledge—that
the serpent used to tempt Adam and Eve into disobeying God in the
first place.

Despite
this fact, it can be said that scientia also has a decidedly Christian
“flavor.” The noun scientia is derived from the Latin
verb scire, which means to “separate one thing from another.”
Scire is related to another verb, scindere, which means “to
divide.” If you are a Bible reader, you must already be making
the connection, for it is a verse many of us have memorized!—2
Titus 2:15, which states, “Study to show thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.” The original language here uses the Greek verb
orthotomeo, a compound word that combines the words orthos and tomos.
Orthos is an adjective meaning “straight, not crooked.”
Tomos is another adjective that means “sharp,” but it
is based on the verb temno, which means “to cut or slice in
a single stroke.” English speakers use these terms all the time,
but we often do not make the connection. Orthodontics refers to straightening
teeth. And have you or a loved one ever had a CT scan? The letters
stand for Computerized Tomography, which means taking images of you
in “slices” using a computer. Both Latin and Greek words
paint a picture of someone who seeks to discern truth by slicing to
the heart of the matter through diligent study. This is inherently
what God-centered science is all about. Did you know that you are
practicing “science” of a sort whenever you diligently
seek God’s truth?

Scientific
study and methods of observation and careful documentation are often
accredited to the Greeks, but the Mesopotamian peoples of ancient
Sumer (modern Iraq) demonstrated a keen understanding of Pythagoras’
Law (a2 + b2 = c2) as early as the eighteenth century BC. (See the
Wikipedia article, “Plimpton 322,” covering the history
and significance of the cuneiform tablet known as Plimpton 322, discovered
sometime before 1922, when archaeologist Edgar J. Banks sold the 2
cm-thick tablet to New York publisher, George Arthur Plimpton.) Astronomy
is often considered the most ancient science, along with mathematics.
Babylonian astrologers tracked the movement of stars and observed
the heavens, and the prophet Daniel trained among the Chaldean astrologers
and scientists as a well-favored Hebrew captive taken by King Nebuchadnezzar
during his invasion of Judah.

Solomon,
we’re told, made keen observations about nature in his quest
to know more about God Almighty. China, India, Arabia—all have
long histories that record movements of the stars, patterns among
animals and plants, and the intricate and predictable interactions
of numbers. Science has been around for a long, long time. However,
the concerted study of biological processes is a relatively young
field. Medicine is as old as Genesis, but even rudimentary observation
of cellular organelles and structure is but a few centuries old.

Molecular
science is even younger, and genetics younger still. Gregor Mendel
recorded patterns of inheritance in pea plants in the mid-nineteenth
century. In that same century, Charles Darwin theorized that simple
organisms gave rise to more complex ones (an erroneous theory based
on observation and assumption). In 1838, Schlieden and Schwann promoted
their belief that all life is based on cells. By 1860, most biologists
agreed, and the subdiscipline of cytology emerged. Sir Francis Galton
(Darwin’s cousin) ran with his cousin’s theories about
inheritance, biometrics, and social class and formed the basis for
eugenics.

Audience
applauds as Regina E. Dugan -- former Director of DARPA and current
executive at Google -- describes with excitement the coming BEAST
TECH smart tattoos and ingestible biochips that are ALREADY FDA APPROVED
and that people will want to receive (and then be REQUIRED to receive)
by 2017. She glows about the "super powers" the PROTEUS
MARK (Proteus was a Shape-Shifter in Greek Mythology) will give her
and says today's generation are going to want them too. Unfortunately,
she is right.

Over the last decade, he has authored three
books, wrote dozens of published editorials, and had several feature
magazine articles. In addition to past articles at NewsWithViews.com
, his works have been referred to by writers of the LA Times Syndicate,
MSNBC, Christianity Today, Coast to Coast, World Net Daily, White
House Correspondents and dozens of newsmagazines and press agencies
around the globe. Tom's latest book is "The Ahriman Gate," which fictionalizes
the use of biotechnology to resurrect Biblical Nephilim.

Thomas is also a well known radio personality
who has guest-hosted and appeared on dozens of radio and television
shows over the last 30 years, including "The 700 Club" and "Coast

"Deceived" staring Louis Gossett Jr. and Judd Nelson, "Cloud 10 Pictures"
selected Thomas as their spokesperson to explain the Christian viewpoint
on UFO-related demonology.
